Frequently asked questions.
Our services How loud will the music be and will it sound just like a Quartet? Answer...
We try out best to adjust to the situation. We have played in some very large venues without any difficulty but we may not be suitable for some large or very loud parties please contact us for more information.
The texture of a String Duo is slightly different to that of a Quartet of a Trio but not in a detrimental way, we think it is more of an intimate sound than that of a quartet as you can hear the individual parts easier. Sarah is also very accomplished in arranging our music so that it sounds as full and accurate as possible.

Can you arrange any piece of music? Answer...
Most popular pieces are no problem, however, larger complex orchestral scores can sometimes pose a difficulty but we will certainly give it a go. Sarah is a very experienced and talented arranger and is used to reducing large scores down to just two parts. For best results give us plenty of time for the arrangement.

General Can you come to a rehearsal? Answer...
A rehearsal is not generally needed if you provide an accurate schedule of the event as we are used to fitting around you. If you do require a rehearsal please send us the time and date and we will try and accommodate you, however, this will incur an extra fee.

How often and for how long do you need to take breaks and will you need refreshments? Answer...
We generally schedule a fifteen minute break every hour of our playing but we can work around you.
Some water or other non-alcoholic drink is very much appreciated. For longer engagements a light meal to coincide with one of our breaks would again be very much appreciated.

Booking, payment and travel How do I make a booking? Answer...
Give us an email with your dates and as much information about the event as you can and we will check we are free. We should be able to give you a quote straight away once we have finalised playing times and repertoire. We will then send you a contract for you to sign and return and once we receive your signed contract you will have secured the date. Changes to timings are okay if given plenty of notice, so if you are not sure what time we will be needed you can still book us in and finalise it later.
